Once again we have rolled round
to another Independence Day, and once again our beloved pals in Port Charles
are finding themselves at cusps of circumstance and change in their lives. Bring out your sparklers, get ready to light
up the firecrackers, and Listen to Angela for this week’s General Hospital Preview…
Long
Road Out of Eden
The better angels of her nature
on a coffee break, Carly leaps into the fray with Ava and Franco over the status
of Morgan’s habitat enclosure. Naturally
Carly, being who she is, believes Morgan would be better off in the flora and
fauna of Momland rather than the Kiki Cave. Franco, equally determined, reminds Carly that he knows some wee details
about her recent escapades which could still affect her own habitat. But Franco knows more than he’s letting on
and being a gamesman, keeps a few plays in reserve. 
Sonny sees no reason why Olivia
shouldn’t recuperate in the comfort of his own home, displaying fine alpha male
sensibilities, as well as hilariously clueless Y-chromosomal obliviousness.
Olivia’s injured, sore, and exhausted, but even she sees the possible fly in
the ointment and suggests to Sonny that perhaps Connie might have issues with
this new cohabitation. Sonny nods once, peremptorily, and goes out to feed and water
the bodyguards.
Go
Your Own Way
Realizing that Alexis will only
entertain thoughts of cohabitation with
him if he ends his storied career as Enforcer/Counselor to criminal figureheads,
Shawn decides to write a lovely resignation letter and present it to Sonny…perhaps
with flowers and lovely Chianti. But
words from another inspire him to stay true to what he wants; Milo has had an
epiphany (no, not that one), and decides to move on to a new opportunity
offered to him.
Tracy pleads, cajoles, threatens
and berates, but she can’t convince Luke to stay, and she can’t go with him.
Lulu reveals to Laura that her father has been acting strangely lately, and the
two trundle over to corner him. Finding
only Tracy, Laura takes opportunity by the hand and corners her instead. This is the kind of conversation for which
margaritas and popcorn were made.
Let’s
Have a Kiki
Emma has a meltdown over the new,
lifelike doll Mac and Felicia have given her, as she is still confused and
unsure of the impending arrival of a new sibling. Sabrina climbs out on the
ledge and pulls her back in. Then, in an inexplicable show of trust and
ingenuous faith, Emma shows her new doll to Britt. Five thumbs on both hands,
Britt finds the doll has interesting anatomical features which, in turn, cause
her to accidentally set things afire.
Well, nobody ever accused her of doing things by halves.
The Fourth of July Fireworks
blossom and explode over the waters of Port Charles, while some booms resonate
below. Liz is angry with Nik for withholding secrets from her (maybe he and AJ
should really hang out), and she decides to watch the celebrations with Aiden
and AJ in the park –while Nik and Spencer watch from Spoon Island and come
across an unexpected guest. Michael
discovers his brother’s girlfriend in –erm—knots, and this does not help
matters of resolve between the two.
Other tidbits: Felix dresses TJ down, Milo finds support
from Max, and Deception gains momentum.
INDEPENDENCE DAY: General Hospital (original airdate 3/27/13)-- After taking drastic
measures with injured Nikolas in his hospital bed, Luke prepares to search for
Lulu on the missing Haunted Star with Dante and Anna’s help. Laura
arrives in time to join Luke on the adventure. Meanwhile, Carly debuts
the Metrocourt Ballroom to Lucy and Sabrina and Felix find themselves in a tiff
as they prepare for the Nurses Ball. Alexis and Shawn get a sweet
surprise from Sam, Molly and TJ.
Looking ahead to week of July 8:
Silas gives Sam heartbreaking news, and Sam confronts Alexis for answers. Sabrina and Patrick want the same from Britt, while Maxie sees someone from her past. Michael finds himself in deep, Kiki is wary
of Franco’s efforts, and Ava reveals a new detail in her history...
